Eternally Dazzled wrote:Hmmmmmm.... what gives me Edwarditis... I could go on for days! But I love how selfless he is, and polite, and kind, and all that good stuff that came from him being born in the early 20th century. He's so much more mature than the teenage boys like Mike and Eric who are also after Bella. His crooked smile (duh) *swoon*.

And the way he loves Bella is just so amazing. At least, I think of it that way. He thinks of humans as these petty and shallow beings who just follow the crowd and whatnot, and then he meets Bella, and he completely falls in love with her. The undying devotion he has for her, while the first time he saw her he thought she was just like every other human. Also, he's completely gorgeous...

As I said, I could go on for days, but I think I covered the basics...

Hey i HAVE to agree with everything you said that gives you Edwarditis - i think SO much of what we love about Edward comes from his human influences - the 20th century elements of the common gentleman/courtesy/politeness/social norm stuff that common society seems to have outgrown long ago [aka: Mike/Eric who are simply immature...].

And also what you said about Edward loving Bella - it is so true, deep and honest - i think if Edward was going to 'love' someone it would be actual love - not a contemporary superficial high-school sweetheart thing which comes back to his 1900's influence and all the stuff he says about being 'that boy' who would secure a girls hand as soon as he knew she was the 'one'...

XOXO

Haha did anyone watch the Tyra Banks show when Rob and Taylor were on there and Tyra showed them the 'Team Robert' and 'Team Taylor' pants, was hilarious!

Little did they know how into our teams we are *grins*

By the way, I'm writing a "Ten things guys can learn from Edward Cullen", any suggestions? =]

Ahhhh Edward...sighhh...

Abi x

Oh my god! I watched that Tyra Banks just for Rob and Taylor! it was AMAZING!

Hmm... "Ten things guys can learn from Edward Cullen"...
I'd have to say how to be mature and gentlemen like

I'm not into the actor's teams all that much. While Rob plays Edward, he isn't really Edward. And Taylor isn't really Jacob(ew) so I don't get why they're making those teams. Now, Team Taylor or Team Michael, for right now that's a different story.
10 things guys can learn from Edward.
1. Humility
2. Maturity
3. Priorities(love of your life first, even before you)
4. Respect(for the girl, don't push her too far!)
Erm, that's all I can think of for now. If I come up with anymore I'll post.

Hellloooo...... *echo*
Team Edward is lonely.

Let's relive some of his beautiful words, shall we? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fORuwYBL8c
I like that version of Bella's Lullaby so much more than the movie's.

Wow! That video was beautiful! I very nearly cried...
I do like that version better, the only thing that's missing is a part in the music that shows the struggle Edward goes through... not all of the music is sweet. But it is better than the one in the movie.

I almost cried too. His love for Bella is so amazing....
I agree there would have to be more "sadness" to some of the song, but there is a part that comes to this slow pause and then softly picks back up. I don't know, it sounded sad to me.

You know, everything Edward-related makes me sad in a way. I waannt himm!

Okay, so what would you guys do if you saw Edward Cullen?
Like, you walk into a...bookstore let's say and there he is, Edward Cullen. How would you react?

Hmm..
Focus very hard on something else…like reciting the alphabet backwards or something. Although he would hear my heart freaking out, maybe he would attribute it to a book sale or something . There is no way I would want him to know everything that I’ve been thinking about him. Then he would do something like, look in my general direction…my concentration would slip, his eyebrows would raise and I would turn and run out of the book store.

Yeah, thats probably about how my Edward encounter would work...very sad

Oh my gosh…I didn’t know whether to laugh hysterically or hide my face from embarrassment for Rob when he had to bite Tyra. I was thinking woman your old enough to be his mother, back off. And then she asked if they were dating and Rob was like what each other….so funny.
Then Taylor was like, yeah I’ve went out with a couple of girls recently and Rob was like how can you do that…I don’t know why but I found that so enduring.
And I have my doubts on whether Tyra has actually read the books or not…it sounded like she might have read the back of the book but that’s it.
Yeah I'm rambling aren't I??

Oh, I would freak out!! But then I would plan something sneaky to try and make him want to talk to me... because of course, if I ever met him, I would have already been friends with Bella. So I would use that to my advantage by thinking about her. Ooh, I've got it, I would think about a (pretend) convo I would have had with her about Edward. That would make him interested! Sigh... if only that would ever happen...

I'd jump on him.
